My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1421: Freedom

Sienna's curiosity grew even stronger due to Camille's thoughts. She said, "Please, you must absolutely share any new developments with me at all times. I must be the first to know about all the progress because things have exceeded my imagination."

Camille responded, "Sure, you should always stay updated, the queen of gossip."

After chatting with Sienna, Camille didn't hurriedly return to her room to continue the conversation between Ayan, Camille, and Horace. Instead, she walked alone to the balcony outside. She missed Timmy a lot and wanted to have a video chat with him for a few moments.

But when she sent a message, Talia replied that Timmy was already asleep and suggested doing the video chat tomorrow. She also sent Camille a picture of Timmy sleeping.

Camille felt a bit disappointed. It had been many days since she last saw her child, and the longing in her heart continued to torment her.

Just as Camille was about to put away her phone, it suddenly rang, but when she was about to answer, the other party hung up.

It wasn't a mobile number; it was a landline number.

Unfamiliar, it was an unknown number.

She furrowed her brows slightly, her expression somewhat gloomy, but without thinking much, she simply put away her phone.

This happened again before going to bed that night, from the same number. Camille genuinely felt that it was quite strange.

Since the person calling didn't want her to answer, she didn't feel like calling back either. She chose to ignore it as if she hadn't heard anything.

That night turned out to be the best night's sleep in the past few days. This calm and smooth feeling was somewhat similar to the anticipation before a storm.

Early the next morning, several people were awakened from their sleep by the sound of the phone ringing.

It was only around seven o'clock, a few minutes before their usual wake-up time of seven-ten or seven-twenty. But there were still more than ten minutes left until then according to their biological clocks.

So, whether it was Camille or Ayan, their moods weren't very good. After finally managing to get a good night's sleep, they naturally cherished it.

After looking at the caller ID, Ayan reluctantly answered the call with a displeased tone, "What's the matter?"

It was Kian on the other end of the line, and he spoke cautiously, "Mr. Simpson, something has happened."

Ayan remained indifferent and said, "Go on."

"Someone leaked the Armstrong family's matter on the internet. I have already arranged for our technicians to investigate the source of the initial leak. Although I immediately contacted major forums to stop the continued spread and fermentation of the matter, some people still managed to screenshot and repost it. It's still early, but it's difficult to prevent," Kian explained in great detail, his

words filled with anxiety. Because once the matter exploded, it would likely become an excuse and justification for many people to hype it up.

At present, the situation with the Armstrong family was indeed genuine, and they were trying to conceal it. However, once the truth came out, it would undoubtedly be constantly magnified and rumors would spread.

The consequences of this series of events were troublesome. Ultimately, many of these troubles would need to be dealt with by Kian, so naturally, he was very anxious and worried.

Upon hearing this, Ayan immediately opened his eyes, and all drowsiness and displeasure vanished in that moment.

Frowning slightly, he sat up, and his voice, cold and filled with indifference, said, "Speed up the investigation of the source of the matter, then immediately contact everyone involved in this matter, one by one, and find out the truth. The fact that this matter was only leaked at this stage must be related to someone involved; otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to know the inside story of the matter."

Even the staff at the tourist attraction didn't know the specific details for the time being. Only the person in charge knew, but the person in charge didn't dare to say a word, knowing full well the great responsibility involved.

As for the actual situation, Kian still needed to investigate. In the meantime, Ayan had already gotten up and freshened up, and Camille followed suit. With signs of the news leaking out, everyone naturally needed to prepare themselves mentally.

Camille and Ayan received the message, and Grace and Horace received it as well.

The four of them quickly gathered at Maple Grove.

Grace was very anxious and asked, "What should we do? The matter was supposed to be kept secret from the beginning. Now that it's been exposed, will people think we did it intentionally or that we were hiding something for personal gain? Moreover, Uncle and the others might start blabbering. Even though we know we haven't done anything wrong, the outside world won't believe us, right?" NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Camille didn't say anything. Her emotions were still a bit sluggish since she had just woken up. Her schedule at the company was not fixed, so she usually woke up much later than Ayan, only getting up when she had enough sleep. Today, she was awakened and then learned about such a big incident. Honestly, it was quite shocking, and it made her react slowly.

Grace was already very worried about this matter. The situation hadn't been resolved yet, and if something like this happened at this time, Brody and Regina's relationship would undoubtedly be exposed, and the Armstrong family would become the subject of everyone's gossip and ridicule.

Grace didn't want this kind of accident to happen. She had a grim face, looking especially gloomy, and her worried expression was evident in her eyes.

Horace tightly held her hand and looked at Ayan with a somber expression. "How is Mr. Simpson doing now?"

"Kian has arranged for further investigation. We need to find out where the leak came from, and once we figure out who it is, it will be easier to handle," Ayan responded calmly.

Two minutes later, Kian called.

The matter had been clarified, and they had also found out about the Armstrong family's villa.

It was the eldest uncle's son who had climbed over the wall while the bodyguards weren't paying attention. Kian had already arranged for someone to apprehend him.

Upon hearing this answer, Grace immediately said, "It's my fault. I should have stayed at the Armstrong family's place. This way, they wouldn't have been able to take advantage of it."

"If you go back to live there, they will become even more reckless. What if they kidnap you and use you to threaten us?" Camille's voice followed immediately.

Grace was momentarily stunned, and then her voice disappeared because Camille was right. There was a high possibility of that happening.

The atmosphere fell into a brief silence for a few seconds, and then Horace spoke, "His motive for doing this is simply to use public opinion to give them their freedom and then take advantage of the opportunity to make a big deal and gain some benefits."

Ayan added indifferently, "It's not a big deal if they simply want benefits. What I'm afraid of is that they might be manipulated by some malicious individuals. The Armstrong family has made enemies in the past, so Mr. Burris from Armstrong Corp should be extra vigilant. We don't want Armstrong Corp to be implicated because of the Armstrong family."

Horace nodded in agreement. He had also considered this point, but now, with Grace alone, he was worried that her emotions would suffer.
